Ethmoid crista galli
The crista galli is a thick, midline, smooth triangular process arising from the superior surface of the ethmoid bone, projecting into the anterior cranial fossa. … Immediately lateral to it are the nasal slits where the anterior ethmoidal nerves descend into the roof of the nasal cavity.
Gomphosis tooth - periodontal ligament?
can get infected! periodontitis
A gomphosis is a joint that anchors a tooth to its socket. Gomphoses line the upper and lower jaw in each tooth socket and are also known as peg and socket joints. These joints have a very limited range of mobility so the teeth are held firmly in place.

What is a sinus in the skull?
The sinuses are a connected system of hollow cavities in the skull. … Your cheekbones hold your maxillary sinuses (the largest). The low-center of your forehead is where your frontal sinuses are located.
The word “sinus” is most commonly understood to be the paranasal sinuses that are located near the nose and connect to the nasal cavity. There are four paranasal sinuses, each corresponding with the respective bone for which it is named: maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid, and frontal.
Sinuses are air-filled sacs (empty spaces) on either side of the nasal cavity that filter and clean the air breathed through the nose and lighten the bones of the skull. There are four paired sinuses in the head. The most posterior (farthest toward the back of the head) of these is the sphenoid sinus.
sinuses,
frontal bone - two spaces - not symmetrical
maxillary sinus, spenoid
ethmoid
some bones are both membrane and cartilage
petrous part of temporal - (looks like stone) - cartilage - squamous - membrane
The endocranium, the bones supporting the brain (the occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid) are largely formed by endochondral ossification. Thus frontal and parietal bones are purely membranous.
The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and a good deal of the clavicles (collarbones) are formed via intramembranous ossification, while bones at the base of the skull and the long bones form via endochondral ossification.
